In a game filled with silver-platter mistakes, Broncos return man Marvin Mims Jr. served up control of Sunday’s season-opener as if he were wearing white satin gloves rather than a sticky pair of Nikes.

Tennessee rookie quarterback Cam Ward and his Titans offense hadn’t moved the ball at all, but now they found themselves set up 24 yards from the end zone and trailing 13-12. The lead seemed a given. A touchdown? Opportunities don’t get presented more perfectly.

Zach Allen and Denver’s defense had other ideas.

Not only did the Titans fail to find the end zone, but they also got pushed back.

Way back.

Well out of field goal range.
